Is a cesarean section better with a horizontal cut or a vertical cut! Or a natural birth, afraid of pain

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If it's possible to have a natural birth, it's better to have one. A horizontal incision is better. In the past, vertical incisions were common, but now they are basically all changed to horizontal ones. This is because vertical incisions have larger wounds, slower recovery, and more noticeable scars. Horizontal incisions follow the natural lines of the abdomen, resulting in smaller wounds, faster recovery, and less noticeable scars.
